CATHERINE OPIE AT MASP – THE GENDER OF PORTRAITURE

With the opening of Frieze NY last Wednesday, the NY Contemporary sales season has kicked off (if it ever truly stops!). From now until mid-May, it's a whirlwind of fairs and gallery openings, culminating in the grand auctions. May is a crucial time for the US art market calendar and the results will have global repercussion for the remainder of the year.

Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) presents, from March 22 to July 28, 2024, the exhibition Francis Bacon: The Beauty of Meat. Curated by Adriano Pedrosa, Laura Cosendey, and Isabela Ferreira Loures, the exhibition aims to highlight how the artist, with his innovative and impactful painting, paved the way for a queer presence in visual culture.

The eighty-first edition of the Whitney Biennial—the longest-running survey of contemporary art in the United States—features seventy-one artists and collectives grappling with many of today’s most pressing issues.

Zielinsky opened a new space in São Paulo, Brazil and presented a solo exhibition by Brazilian artist Claudio Goulart (1954-2000), whose work was developed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where he lived for over 30 years until he passed away due to complications from AIDS.

Marli Matsumoto Arte Contemporânea featured artist Mayana Redin’s solo show Nenhum Mistério (No Mistery) at the gallery, with a presentation and critical text by José Augusto Ribeiro.

The Art Basel in Basel fair concluded on June 16th, signaling the near end of the market season before summer. Despite the June London auctions (featuring works from antiquity to contemporary art) this year’s London season is notably diminished.

The exhibition Lia D Castro: Everywhere and Nowhere, at MASP – Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand is the artist’s first solo show in a museum, and brings together 36 works, most of which are figurative paintings. The selected works explore scenarios where affection, dialogue and imagination become important tools for social transformation.

Liliana Porter: The Task is the artist’s exhibition at Dia Bridgehampton. The exhibition comprises a new commission alongside a selection of works from the 1970s and video documentation of a recent play by Porter and collaborator Ana Tiscornia.

apexart is soliciting idea-based group exhibition proposals for its NYC open call October 1–31, 2024. Five winning proposals will receive up to a 10,000 USD exhibition budget and become apexart exhibitions at the NYC space as part of the 2025–26 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of experience level or location, are invited to submit a proposal online.

The Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean is the first exhibition in New York City at Americas Society to center the artistic production of the Asian diaspora in the region from the 1940s to the present. Focusing on postwar and contemporary art, the exhibition showcases the work of thirty artists from fifteen countries working in a range of artistic mediums including painting, sculpture, performance, photography, and video, to shed light into strategies and themes that resonate across a wide array of Asian diasporic practice throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

A man is waiting. In elegant clothes, the figure is placed in the center of what looks like a hotel bar. He plays the lead role on a sort of stage, an interior that is something of a cage, something of a scenic locus, as if a possible flirtation or a desired encounter would provide some catalysis of emergence, a quick enjoyment, an intense release, however short and finite, perhaps dismantling a routine of limits. Man in Blue (1954) works as a synthesis of the not so extensive but very significant gathering of the celebrated Francis Bacon (1909-1992) in A Beleza da Carne (The Beauty of Meat), at Masp (São Paulo Museum of Art). The exhibition is curated by Adriano Pedrosa, artistic director of the institution and curator of the current edition of the Venice Biennale, the 60th, on show until November in the Italian city, and co-curated by Laura Cosendey.

The 14th Mercosur Biennial will be held between March 27 and June 1, 2025. The exhibition, which was originally planned to be held this year in Porto Alegre, was rescheduled as a result of the climatic catastrophes that affected southern Brazil.
